RAW VIDEO, Kit Carson Park Fire

They say the fire was contained quickly, despite the nearest Escondido station being shut down because of temporary reconstruction.

The source of the fire is likely a homeless encampment, according to firefighters. It appears about 12 people were camped out with tents and fire pits.

The fire could have been worse since the park is heavily wooded with a lot of brush, according to firefighters.

No one was injured in the fire.
